World Hypertension Day 2019: Know the relationship between high blood pressure and diabetes

Do you know how "silent killer" hypertension and diabetes are related to each other, and what effect this combination has on your health.

Everything is good in the right amount, both outside and inside the human body. Especially when it comes to health, everything should be normal. When something goes awry in your body, symptoms of the condition appear, but the case of high blood pressure or high blood pressure is completely different. There are no special symptoms for high blood pressure.

Blood pressure increases as the heart muscle contracts and pumps blood. This is called systole. Normally it is 1

20 mmHg. It falls when the heart relaxes and fills with blood, and it is called diastole; at normal blood pressure it is 80 mmHg. Systole is the upper number and diastole is the lower number. If the systole is more than 140 mmHg and the diastole is more than 90 mmHg, it means that a person is suffering from hypertension or high blood pressure.

People with type 2 diabetes more often have a problem with high blood pressure. There is no idea why these two have this significant relationship, but it is believed that things like obesity, a high-fat and high-sodium diet, chronic inflammation and inactivity contribute to both. Because many people are unaware of it and there are no obvious symptoms of high blood pressure, it is also referred to as a "silent killer".
